first pages of the manual.
DNC WITH WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM
The CYBELEC DNCs equipped with Windows have been installed in the
factory with a configuration especially realised for the numerical control
(see technical information).
This configuration ensures that a minimum of files are present on the DNC,
offering in this way a maximum speed to execute the programs. This
configuration also ensures that the drivers are correct and that the whole
guarantees an optimal functioning of the numerical control.
As Windows is a very open system, it is advised to not modify the Windows
installation nor to install other programs. You risk to disturb the functioning
of the the numerical control.
If you wish to install a network or a printer, please call a specialist.
Remember that the DNC is equipped with a floppy reader and USB ports and
that it is very easy or even tempting to install external softwares, utilities or
games coming from specialized magazines.
CYBELEC accepts no responsibility in case of misfunctioning of
the numerical control if other programs have been installed or if
the original configuration has been modified.
We also remind you that the Windows environment is infested with virus and
utmost caution is to be taken when using data or softwares coming from
outside. A regular back-up enables you to get your data in safety.
We certify that our numerical controls are delivered virus free.

PAGE 8 USER GUIDE MODEVA/DNC 880S
QUICK START
This chapter describes, by means of some simple examples, diverse ways of
using your DNC.
L-alpha Programming.
This method is the fastest and the most currently used in the workshop
when the operator has to create himself a product from a paper
drawing.
Direct Programming.
This type of programming is often used for simple products or by
operators having worked on conventional pressbrakes without
numerical controls.
This page is very close to what an operator has to do, since he has on
one single screen all the information and fields necessary for the
programming of his product.
3D Programming.
This type of programming enables the user to visualize the
construction of its product in 3D. This mode also enables more
elaborated constructions and modifications than in 2D mode.
We assume in this part that all the necessary tools have already been
programmed as well as the machine parameters.
Access levels We presume that the operator knows how to reach level 1. Should this not be
the case, see chapter Protection of the Access Levels further in this manual.
The screens of this manual have been captured with the PC 1200 Windows
software. The screens however are identical in the ModEva and DNC 880S,
except for the Windows aspect.
Reminder:
You will find the correspondence between the keys of the DNC and those of
a PC keyboard in the 2D Reference Manual under External keyboard.
These procedures indicate to the operator a programming method
recommended by CYBELEC, enabling to assimilate by the example the
functioning of the software.
For additional information, please consult the 2D Reference Manual and/or
the 3D Reference Manual, which each contains a table of contents and a
detailed index facil ita tin g the search for information.
QUICK START PAGE 9
LEAVING THE SOFTWARE
It is possible at any time to quit the task after having memorized the current
state. However it is important to leave the software i n the correct way by
calling up the MENU page
The same procedure can be used on the PC software, or press the
keys on any page.

L-ALPHA (2D) PROGRAMMING
This chapter describes, by means of a concrete example, how to create a
product by using the "L-alpha" method (length-angle).
This method is fast and easy and allows to display the product in 2D, which
usually is sufficient when products are being programmed in the workshop.
The product being used as an example is composed of 2 sections (profiles),
but the procedure is identical for one or several sections.

Proceed in the same way for the DIE.
Remark: It is possible to make the same choice, and in the same way,
in the TOOLS BEND page (via the BEND menu). This
enables to see the tools profile, along with their main
characteristics.
* The PUNCH and DIE fields in the upper part of the screen designate the
general tool for the calculation of the product. If a product is being
programmed via the PRODUCT NUMERICAL page, it is mandatory to
enter these two items.
The PUNCH and DIE columns in the table allow to specify a different tool
for a given bend.
In the BEND NUMERICAL page, there are also a PUNCH and a DIE field.
If the product has been programmed via the PRODUCT NUMERICAL
page, these fields will be empty or partially filled if tools have been entered
in the corresponding columns of the table of the PRODUCT NUMERICAL
page. This is so because these fields correspond to the ones in the table.

ENTERING THE DATA (2)
HINT The way of programming described above (sec tion Entering the Data (1))
requires of the operator to subtract the steel thickness from the external
dimension of the product. The procedure described below will facilitate the
programming. It has, however, some limitations depending on the product
and the chosen bending order.
The hint consists of entering the external dimension in the X field of the
backgauge, and to program a constant negative correction corresponding to
(approximately, according to your experience, to the tools and to the
material) the material t hickness for the entire product.
This procedure is described hereafter:
BEND NUMERICAL page, same remark as underneath the
preceding screen illustration, except for the fact that X has been
programmed with the external dimension, as explained. (45)

ORGANIZATION OF THE MEMORIES
This chapter is intended to furnish the essential elements to th e DNC
functioning. For more complete information about the memories, please
consult the 2D Reference Manual.
The numerical control contains various memories. When the operator
programs a product or modifies the contents of a product, he is doing it in a
work memory, sometimes called buffer mem ory.
The work memory is non-volatile, that means, when you switch off the DNC,
the data of the current product remain stored in the memory until they are
replaced by an other product or deleted.
Floppy
INT E R NAL
Work memory
or
buffer
Network
ENC
It is not necessary to save the product which has been programmed in the
work memory, if this one is of no more use once the product executed.
Generally, the product will be saved only if it has to be kept for future use.
A non-saved product in the work memory is recognizable, for the
PRODUCT field is empty.
The ENC is also provided with a memory which contains a copy of the
product located in the work memory. This copy is transferred to the ENC
when switching to semi-automatic or automatic mode.
An other memory, belonging to the DNC again, is the Floppy (disk).
Generally, the Floppy is used for the saving (backup) of important products,
the tools, and/or the machine parameters.
Therefore, the transf e r p a g e is u s e d .
Although a product can be searched or stored directly in the Floppy, this
operation will be made very rarely because of the access speed.
Complementary memories can be those offered by a network access.
When normally configurated, the DNC always memorizes and searchs its
products in the INTERNAL memory . It is possible to attribute an other
memory by default to it (see Active Peripherals in the 2D Reference
Manual).

PROTECTION OF THE ACCESS LEVELS
GENERAL INFORMATION
Thus, in this manual we will always speak of a (virtual) key position like
e.g.: "Key in position 3".
Levels There exist 4 access levels, 0 to 3.
0 = Programming prohibited.
1 = Creation, correction, modification, saving, deleting, transfer of one (or
more) product(s).
2 = Creation, correction, modification, saving, deleting, transfer of the tools.
3 = Programming, modification and transfer of the machine parameters.
Access These levels are reached by pressing the
Alt
+ ,
Remark: Release the numerical key before the Alt key.
The key position is displayed as a small pictograph at the right bottom of the
screen.
When passing to non-authorized level, a password modification will be
requested.
When the password has been introduced, you can "navigate" in the inferior
levels and equal to the authorized one without reintroducing the password.
The fact to pass on level 0 reinitializes the password request.

Users A number of different users are predefined. A user is not a physical person in
particular, but can be e.g. all the operators having the authorizati on to work
on the machine.
Each predefined user possesses his own password and a maximum level
which he can reach. See further under Table of users, access and passwords.
Password Certain users can modify their own password. For the others, the password
can only be changed by a user having a superior access.
Characteristics The password can be composed of alphanumerical characters if such a
keyboard is disposable. Otherwise only of numerical characters.
Loss of the password In case of loss of the password, a user of a superior level has to reprogram
the password.

Once the authorization acquired, the operator can change the level among
those authorized to him without reappearing of a new password request.
For instance, a user with access on level 3 can navigate between levels 1, 2
and 3 without having to give his password again.
If level 0 is activated, the access on any other level will require to introduce
the password again .
This request also will appear whe n the u s er p asses to a superior level (from 0

PC 1200 SOFTWARE
There are 2 figures to be distinguished:
1. PC 1200 2D (=PC 1200) software delivred with a ModEva 10S and
DNC 880S. This software doesn't require any protection key.
2. PC 1200 3D software delivred with a ModEva 12S and 15S. This
software require a protection key for his good working.
PC PROTECTION KEY
Only for PC 1200 3D:
The key must be equipped with at least the options 20, 25 to authorize PC
1200 3D to work.
Install the protection key on the parallel port LPT1 (printer) or on a USB
port according to the model of the protection key.
L Important: Do in no case connect the protection key to a serial port.
This may destroy the key.
Notes:
Always switch the PC or DNC off before connecting or
disconnecting a protection key !
The printer port of the PC or the DNC and/or the protection key might
become damaged if the key is connected or disconnected while the
power supply is switched on.
The protection key must be connected to the (first) printer port
(parallel port, LPT1) of the PC or the DNC.
Never connect the protection key to a serial port ("com port") !
This may cause damage to the protection key and/or the serial port of
the PC or the DNC.
If a printer is connected to the protection key, it must be switched on
for correct operation.
As a rule, a stack of multiple protection keys may be connected to the
printer port of the PC.
In some cases, the order of the keys may be important for correct
operation of the different software packages using these keys. In case
of problems, always start first to connect a single key (and do not
connect the printer) to determine if this solves the problem. If yes,
then try to add the other keys in different orders to determine the
correct order. If the problem cannot be solved for multiple keys ,
consider to use a printer switch-box to switch between the different
protection keys.
For CYBELEC protection keys, only keys with different colours may
be stacked. Keys with the same colour may not be stacked.
This also means that a replacement of the protec tion key may be
necessary in case that an installed version of the software is updated
to a version with different options.
INSTALLATION OF MODEVA WINDOWS PAGE 67
When starting, the software displays the WELCOME page.
At the bottom of this page you can read the serial number of the key, as well
as the available options.
If it happened that the key would not be recognized, the message ILLEGAL
CONFIGURATION appears, the serial number is empty and it is not
possible to go into other pages of the software.
In this case: leave the software, carry out each of the points below by always
restarting the software in order to know if the point has solved the problem.
- Verify that the key is really on the printer port LPT1 or on a USB port
according to the model of the key.
- Let only the key alone switched on, without printer, without cable,
without another key or another periphery (for the rest of the tests).
- Install the Sentinel driver which is found in the CD directory under the
directory \Tools\Sentinel_Pro_Drivers\SproDriver_7_2_2.
For that, execute the Sentinel Protecti on I n sta lle r 7.2.2.exe which is
found in this directory.
- For Windows NT or Windows 2000 or XP, you must have a Sentinel
Super Pro key which differentiates by its size (see photo). The other
keys (larger) are NOT recognized.
- "Under" Windows NT, 2000 or XP, it may be possible that additionally
the RAINPORT driver is to be installed which is on the CD of
ModEva/DNC 880S as well, in the directory
\Tools\Win_NT_2000\Rainport.
- If all these attempts have not solved the problem:
Start the cybdng3.exe software which is found in the \Tools\Prot_key
directory. The carrying out of this last must return you the number of the
key as well as the available options.
- If there is no result, try on another PC of a different brand and if possible
with another OS (Win 95, Win 98). It happens that the port is not
compatible with the key.
- If the result is also negative on another PC, then the protection key may
have been damaged. This requires a replacement.
In a network configuration, the PC software can be installed on the server.
Note, however, that this is not recommended due to potential problems if
multiple users run the software at the same time. Also note that a protection
key is required for each PC running the software, and that the protection key
cannot be installed on the server.
Depending on the configuration and options, the DNC also requires a
protection key. If the protection key is not found, the message illegal
configuration can be shown (and the DNC cannot be used in this case),
or one or more options of the DNC will not be available.
The protection key is not required for the installation of the software.
PAGE 68 USER GUIDE MODEVA/DNC 880S
INSTALLATION OF PC 1200
Install the protection key (only with PC 1200 3D).
Insert the CD-ROM in the CD rea d er and follow the instructi ons.
If the software asks you the question, choose Installation on PC
(and not on DNC).
By default, the software sets up in a CYB/ directory and there in a
sub-directory under the name of the installed version.
This enables to have several different versions on the PC.
If the software asks you the question, introduce the CONFIG 03 disk
(or higher) and continue the installation.
If you have no diskette, click on NO, the software will then be
installed with the standard options.
INSTALLATION OF MODEVA WINDOWS PAGE 69
Installation in an existing directory
If you wish to not keep your old version, but make an update in the same
directory as your old software, answer also by NO on the question "install
the CONFIG 03 diskette ?".
In this way the parameters of your old software will be kept, the
configuration, the parameters, the products and the paths.
Installation under Windows NT, 2000 or XP
Attention: under these systems you must have the rights of an
ADMINISTRATOR to install the software.
Before or after the software installation, but before starting PC 1200:
Install the Sentinel driver which is found in the CD directory under
the directory \Tools\Sentinel_Pro_Drivers\SproDriver_7_2_2.
For that, execute the Sentinel Protection Installer 7.2.2.exe which
is found in this directory.
